A group within the standards committees has begun to work on the formal definition of the SMPTE 3D Home Master.〔(Hollywood gears up 3D TV effort )〕〔(New SMPTE 3D Home Content Master Requirements Set Stage For New Market Growth )〕〔("Report of SMPTE Task Force on 3D to the Home" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
